Well to be fair teens aren't committing suicide with Louisville Sluggers, and if someone steals your bat they can't go rob a bank or do a drive-by. Okay, owning a bat purely for home defense probably doesn't make sense, but bat's are useful for other functions. Guns only shoot. (2)

Still, you're missing out. Baseball may be boring as shit to watch, but it's fun to play.

Heh, ty. Both I and my future clients hope you're right. I plan on being a public defender and then a civil rights attorney eventually. (3)
  1. Yes, I think to own a gun should require training akin to obtaining a drivers license. Classes include safety standards and maintenance procedures as well. Hell, we can even make sure people aren't forgetting what they should be doing to keep their weapon and make the license expire every so many years. This might get my ass shot.
  2. True. But I imagine that some angry student has gone off and beaten a fellow student with a bat. Hell, I have seen one student beat another with a stapler.
  3. Just don't be like Tully from Ghostbusters.
